Villain: After I died, all the heroines cried themselves to sleep.

The morning after the written exam, the candidates arrived at the school's training ground under the guidance of the invigilators to take the martial arts exam.

The martial arts exam consists of three parts.

The first item is a basic ability test, which examines the candidates' physical abilities such as strength, speed, and stamina.

The second item is a talent demonstration, where candidates showcase their talents and strengths in front of the judges.

The third project is the practical exercise and competition, where candidates compete in the training field and let their abilities speak for themselves.

The practical training portion accounts for 60% of the total score in the martial arts exam.

Today's exam will cover the first two components.

Luo Chuan arrived at the training ground, which was already packed with people.

In this world where martial arts are revered, even those without much martial arts talent will still consider taking the martial arts exam to try their luck.

If I actually get into a top martial arts school, wouldn't that be a huge win?

"Hey, isn't that Luo Chuan?"

"It's true, wasn't he already admitted to the Imperial University of Beijing through a special admission program? Why is he still participating in the martial arts exam?"

"Dude, how long has it been since you came to school? Luo Chuan awakened a C-level trash talent, so his guaranteed admission spot is gone. He can only take the college entrance exam honestly."

"That's terrible. So he's just here to try his luck."

Well, in the eyes of the other candidates, Luo Chuan was also one of those who were trying their luck in the martial arts exam.

Luo Chuan automatically filtered out these idle gossips.

Since the stage is already set up and the main actors have mostly arrived, we're just waiting for the show to begin, so why rush things?

Suddenly, a commotion broke out in the training field.

"Holy crap! That school bully is awesome!"

Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw a group of people watching from the side of the track and field.

Luo Chuan followed to join in the fun, only to see Wang Yuan dashing ahead on the track, leaving all the other examinees far behind.

Wang Yuan was originally a physical monster, and his awakened S-level talent probably also has a certain physical enhancement effect.

The two factors combined caused it to take off from the spot.

When Wang Yuan finished running, a large group of fans surrounded him, chattering away.

I overheard them talking, and apparently their support group has already been set up.

Who would have thought that the once fierce and ruthless school bully, whom everyone avoided, would become an idol of the entire school and win the hearts of countless girls?

This is how talent can change one's destiny.

In contrast, the other candidates who took the exam with Wang Yuan were sitting there panting, completely relegated to the background.

One of them caught Luo Chuan's attention.

It's the second unlucky guy.

Among the students who lost their guaranteed admission spots, one was Luo Chuan, and the other was her.

She had two braids and wore a pair of old-fashioned, thick-rimmed black glasses.

Her name seems to be Xu Xiaojin.

Like Luo Chuan, she awakened a normal C-level talent.

Perhaps that's why, after losing to Wang Yuan, she pursed her lips in resentment, looking at Wang Yuan, who was being fawned over by everyone, with complicated emotions.

It seemed like envy, yet also a sense of loneliness.

In the end, he had no choice but to leave the stage in disappointment.

Nobody cares.

……

Luo Chuan then participated in the basic ability test.

He wasn't idle during this time; in fact, he spent more time on physical training than on his academic studies.

Through a systematic training program that I developed myself, I can maximize my basic physical abilities.

Strength tests: bench press, pull, vertical jump...

Too.

Speed ​​tests, sprints, dodging, obstacle courses...

Too.

Physical fitness tests, long-distance running, swimming, marathons...

Too.

Spiritual energy testing: quantity, purity, efficiency...

Too.

After he completes all the test items—

[Ding! Database updated; basic attributes section added to status panel.]

Name: Luo Chuan

[Fate Points: 0]

[Personality: Serious and unsmiling (Rhodes)]

[Talent: Life is like a play (C), Etheric dominance (S)]

[Attributes: Strength B, Speed ​​A, Physical Fitness B, Spiritual Power A+, Perception A, Willpower S]

"The overall evaluation should reach around A level."

Luo Chuan seemed to be deep in thought.

Based on the talent rating system, C is considered average, B is considered excellent, A is considered outstanding, not to mention the extraordinary S-level.

Even Wang Yuan's physical fitness is estimated to be below S-level.

Therefore, Luo Chuan can be basically certain that his basic ability test score is likely to be in the top three.

And in terms of mental attributes, it is undoubtedly number one.

……

As students left the examination hall, many were discussing the exam content.

"How did your exam go?"

"I feel like I'm doomed. Even though I can't see the specific results, I feel like I did terribly."

"Stop talking. I'm last in the whole group and have no fighting talent. I've given up on treatment. I should just go home and inherit the family fortune."

"Comparison is the thief of joy. Did you guys see the school bully's exam? He completely crushed everyone else."

"I saw it, so I gave up the exam. I just can't compare. That's fate."

After the basic ability test, many candidates who wanted to take shortcuts have become honest, put down their unrealistic fantasies, and accepted the reality that they are just ordinary people.

This is probably the purpose of conducting the martial arts exam in three stages.

Subtly discourage students who lack talent from pursuing further education.

After all, the world outside the wall is very cruel, and turning students with insufficient talent into martial artists would only harm them.

It would be better to accept the protection of martial artists and enjoy a peaceful life within the walls.

Luo Chuan himself had wondered if he would have chosen to give up like the villain system if it weren't for it.

However, he quickly dismissed the idea.

Even if he only has one C-level talent, "Life is Like a Play," he will persevere.

Luo Chuan remained steadfast in his belief, stepped out from the group of test takers, and prepared to find a place to rest during the lunch break while waiting for the talent demonstration to take place in the afternoon.

Arriving at the courtyard behind the school, I vaguely remembered a pavilion deep inside where one could cool off.

Unfortunately, it seems someone has already beaten them to it.

"Hilarious. What's the use of good grades if you end up with a useless talent? All your efforts will be for nothing."

"That's right. I said it in the sisters' group, and everyone burst out laughing. Even if you successfully get into a university with advanced martial arts skills, you'll probably still be a low-level martial artist."

"I've disliked her before, but this feels really good."

Several girls emerged from around the corner, grinning mischievously.

They ran right into Luo Chuan.

They paused, their voices abruptly ceasing.

Just like being caught red-handed doing something wrong, the group immediately quickened their pace and fled the scene.

Luo Chuan didn't care much and turned the corner to look at the pavilion not far away.

When he overheard the girls' conversation, his first thought was that they were talking about him.

But upon closer reflection, hadn't he just met another unfortunate soul who had suffered the same fate?

Sure enough, what came into view was Xu Xiaojin, that country girl.

She sat on the bench in the pavilion with her head down, her hands tightly gripping her thighs, her body trembling slightly, as if she was enduring something.

"I... made a promise... to get into the Imperial Capital University... and become an extraordinary martial artist..."

"But as expected... a C-rank talent... can't do anything..."

"Perhaps... it's time to give up..."

"..."

Luo Chuan thought for a moment and decided not to bother the other person who felt ashamed of himself.

[Ding! A turning point in your destiny has been detected; the gears of fate have begun to turn.]

You're coming again?

Luo Chuan's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at the system pop-up in surprise.

He wouldn't ask me to help the country girl, would he?

[As a lovable and charming villain, how could I miss the opportunity to kick someone when they're down and trample on their self-esteem?]

Okay, I guess I was overthinking it.
